Round 9
Day
Nothing else was found and the crew worked hard and long replacing transformers and other important power grid equipment. The day was nearing night and a tired crew retired to their quarters.
Kenth Hamner walked the long and empty hallways to his quarters and he was utterly tired. This had been a long day, even if day had no real meaning out here in cold dark space. They lived in day and night cycles which each lasted 24 hours. For some of the crew this was especially hard coming from planet systems which had far shorter day and night cycles. But they were all trained for it.
He had only the last stretch left when he suddenly sensed danger. Someone was coming up from behind … fast. Kenth Hamner twirled round, lightsaber already ignited. A shadow was speeding towards him at an incredible speed. Kenth drew a small portion of the force to him and released it in the direction of the shadow. The shadow crashed into the propelled force matter and was thrown backwards and landed hard on the hallway floor.
Kenth Hamner noticed the cloak and the burning amber eyes under a dark hood. This could only be one of the Sith. Kenth was a Master wielder of the lightsaber and positioned himself in a well proven defensive stance. The cloaked person jumped up from the prone position on the floor and landed just outside Kenth’s reach. A sinister voice came from the cloaked person: ”So, you know a few tricks, but that puny push is nothing to my Sith avalanche.” As he said that he went into a crouch and seemed to concentrate. Kenth could feel the force being drawn from all around him into that dark creature crouching before him. Before Kenth could take action, the cloaked person unleashed whatever he had been powering up and Kent felt a rush of wind around him. His body was then thrown through the air with imaginable force. The power was so furious that it tore up walls along the path that Kenth was sailing. It felt as a runaway space craft running into the hallway, pushing everything along its path of destruction. Kenth never felt the impact that crushed his body to pulp before the force tore through the steel wall that had smashed up Kenth’s body.
Keyan Farlander was ecstatic for being promoted. He had not been long with the Jedi order and being promoted this early could only mean that he was on a path to become one of the great Jedi.
He had barely finished one of his dreamy imaginations of long Jedi robes and wielding a purple lighsaber, yes he would get a purple one, when he saw a dark and cloaked person blocking his pathway. Keyan stopped abruptly. This could be one of the dreaded Sith they were trying to get rid of. Burning amber eyes were glancing at him from under a dark hood. “Ah, if it isn’t our new Padawan. Too bad you need to go.” And by those words the cloaked person lifted hands into the air and released blue energy which lighted the hallway up in cascading flashing whites and blues.
Keyan Farlander hit the ground hard, the cells of his body were being destroyed by electricity and he had no means to counter it or object. Kyan Farlander died on that floor in agonizing spasms.
Den Siva was returning from a previous engagement and was met by a well known member of the crew. Den Siva was a bit surprised, but the member of the crew only wanted to talk about something important. They walked along the hallway towards Den Siva’s cabin. Den Siva was quite tired after the long day and excused himself when they reached his cabin. As Den Siva entered, the crew member seemed to hesitate, then pushed the cabin door open and entered after Den Siva. “I am sorry, but I have to do this. Den Siva felt the cabin spin around him and hit the floor with an agonizing headache. He woke up a bit later not knowing what had happened earlier or that he had talked to someone. And how did he get here?
Obi Wan Kenobi walked towards his cabin when a well known member of the crew joined him. They talked about this and that along the way. The crew member made a gesture towards Obi Wan who went stone cold and hit the floor like a sack of grain. “I am sorry old friend, but this is necessary.”
The night passed and it was yet again morning and the start of a new 24 hour cycle. Obi Wan Kenobi had woke up in the hallway and wondered what had happened to him. He found his place in the auditorium and sat there with a splitting headache.
Qui Gon Jinn entered and declared: We have lost yet two more of our crew. This time, please present a candidate, and a guilty one too when I return. We need to win this people. The Sith can’t best us. The welfare of the universe is at stake here.
As he was talking, a beam of light appeared in the centre of the auditorium. Two beings appeared and it was
Yoda and ...
Kenth Hamner? Yoda declared: "Be mindful of the force, it will teach you who to vote for this day." Kenth Hamner just nodded and they were gone, as abrupt as they came.
Qui Gon made a final statement before he went: "We lost a Jedi Master and a Padawan last night. I am happy to announce that
Jorus C'baoth has been promoted to Jedi Master. I would also like to announce that
Streen has been promoted to Padawan. Congratulations!!!!"
23 hours until the end of vote session (23:00 GMT+ Thursday 29th April)
